DOOR- BOLT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 647,103, dated April 10, 1900.

Application filed August 8, 1 899.

To LZZ whom, t may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAM IWIENDEL, a subject of the Queen of` Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of 150 Marlborough road, Manchester, England, have invented certain Improvements in Sliding-Bolts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to and consists of a sliding-bolt fastening for doors, easements, and the like, the essential features of which are herein described, and pointed out in the claim.

On the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a front view of Inyimproved sliding-bolt fastening in the position it occupies when used as a catch. Fig. 2 represents a similar view of the sliding-bolt fastening in the position it occupies when used as a bolt. Fig. 3 represents a transverse section. Fig. 4 represents the application of the slidingbolt fastening to a mortise.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2, and 3, A is a tubular casing provided with lugs B and holes in such lugs for securing the fastening by screws O to the door, easement, or other object to which it is applied., Within the said casing I mount a bolt D, which is an easy fit, and also Within such casing and behind the bolt I mount a spiral or other spring E. (Shown dotted.) In the wall of the casing I form two parallel slots F F', which 4vare of unequal lengths and are connected by a transverse slot F2, and to the bolt D, I connect a stem or shank G, which passes through the slot F or F Serial No. 726,605. (No model.)

and upon the outside of the casing carries a knob or handle H.

By manipulation of the knob H the bolt may be caused to slide in the casing A and the stem G to play either in the shorter slot F, and thereby in relation to the staple I act as alatch, or in the longer slot F, and thereby in relation to the staple Iact as a lock.

In Fig. 4 I show 110W the fastening is adapt- I substance of such casing having two parallel slots of unequal length and a transverse slot connecting the parallel slots, wherein the said stud may play and when playing in 'the shorter slot adapting the bolt to act as a latch, and when playing in the longer slot adapting` the bolt to act as a lock, substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. SAM MENDEL.
